Help keep our waterways clean and healthy. Only rain in the drain! The Woodlands Township Environmental Services Department, in partnership with all the MUDs within the Township, invites residents to volunteer in the Storm Drain Marking Project. Markers on storm drains remind neighbors that the drains lead directly to a local waterbody; the water is unfiltered and untreated. Pollutants in the water harm the environment, endanger wildlife and pose health risks to humans.

Water and wastewater services in The Woodlands are not provided by The Woodlands Township. Instead, these essential utilities are managed by independent agencies and special purpose districts based on your location within the community. Below is a brief overview of the primary providers serving The Woodlands area:

Woodlands Water Agency manages several Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs) that provide water and sewer services to most residential and commercial properties in The Woodlands.

Harris-Montgomery Counties MUD 386 serves the Village of Creekside Park and is responsible for water and wastewater services in that portion of the community.

San Jacinto River Authority (SJRA) is the wholesale water provider for the MUDs managed by Woodlands Water and other local municipalities, ensuring a reliable long-term water supply for the region.
